Daniel Deronda by George Eliot
5.0
Reading any George Eliot book is the opportunity to spend time with and hear the musings of a genius. Daniel Deronda has characters who are realised in depth and with honesty and compassion. The plot is complex, fascinating, engaging and is set alongside discussion if religion, politics, psychology, society and the role of chance in life.
The book is extremely modern in it’s realism and psychological insights and also in it’s questions about the difficulties of life for women.
I’m left wishing to re-read it and read the rest of George Eliot’s writing and to work on a deeper understanding of her writing and ideas.
